I hope so but I feel like decentralizing comes with side effects too… Like when someone deletes their comments, I think they’re only deleted from their instance. You can still see other people’s deleted comments when you click reply(at least on Jerboa). So everything you post might stay on Internet forever unless other instances synchronize deletions or unless you edit them as blanks.
Also having same topics on multiple instances are good for harboring varied stances, but I think it spreads/thins out communities and content.
We really need the lemmy version of a multireddit - some way to group up your subscribed communities into categories. This way you can lasso together all the communities that cover the same topic but were created on different instances. That’s at the basic level.
At the advanced level, I hope someone can come up with an algorithm to merge duplicate posts/news sources/etc together so that it looks like one centralized post, even though it is decentralized on the backend.
